Watch: Ukrainian forces blow up their own armoured vehicle

While Ukrainian forces sustain serious losses in military personnel and hardware, at least some of these are caused by the apparent incompetence of Kiev’s soldiers, with the following video showcasing one such instance.

The Russian UAV-recorded video from Donbass shows a Ukrainian BMP infantry fighting vehicle being destroyed by an anti-tank mine. The irony of the situation is that the mine was placed there by Ukrainian troops.

In the video, a lone man can be seen running away from the armored vehicle’s wreck after the explosion. According to the UAV operator, that was the BMP’s driver who fled for his life without bothering to check on his comrades in the troop compartment.

As Russian soldiers operating in Donbass explained to Sputnik, the so-called Ukrainian territorial defense units are comprised of poorly trained draftees who often don’t bother marking on maps the mines they lay, thus making situations like the one seen in the video occur.

  1. Tankies:’ overalls were equipped with shoulder straps after a tragic incident in a training exercise some years back in the 1990’s at the NZDF. To enable soldiers to be pulled out of burning tanks.The overalls are made of flame retardant fibre. They are given training to specifically deal with the situation. These people have no idea.
